And I forget every line in the scene - not just from this movie but from every other movie I've done."

"At some point in the scene, she takes my hands and puts them on her breasts. I take my hands away, and I look down at my hands, and there are two frickin' smiley faces on them and I have no idea what to do. And I reflexively, like an idiot, just put my hands right back on her breasts!" He added.

2.Anne Hathaway

While filming 'Love and Other Drugs' with costar Jake Gyllenhaal, actress Anne Hathaway had put herself in an embarrassing situation.

"I have to remove my trench coat and be nude underneath," Hollywood Life quoted Anne Hathaway as saying. "And I thought we were filming, but it turned out we were just rehearsing and I got unnecessarily naked in front of a lot of people!"

"A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn't rearranged my stuff into a harmless position. She's basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard," Cavill told Men's Health.

"I had to apologize profusely afterward. It's not great when you're in a professional acting environment, and somebody gets a boner, is it? No, not acceptable." He added.

As Cavill said, an erection while filming a sex scene is considered highly unprofessional in the mainstream movie industry. It can be very embarrassing for both the actors involved in the scene.
